From your screenshot:
The owner gave the Mets 350mn to spend.
The Mets are spending 335mn, some 15mn below their budget
The Game will not allow the Mets to spend a single dollar more unless they first cut 60mn from what they are spending.
The Mets would need to get their spending down to 275mn (trade Scherzer and Verlander) before they can offer one minimum contract.
If you don't see the problem with this description, it is hopeless to keep this discussion going.
